"BUY ONE!"

Feature:
I do wish the bug had a better way of warning when the battery gets weak. Otherwise, it's great! Just keep a good supply of AAA batteries on hand. They can be changed very quickly & easily. I get about 10-12 hours (2-1/2 to 3 gigs) out of 1 AAA... not bad!

Quality:
Still looks brand new, after 2 years of regular gigs. But the receiver lives & travels in my Gator amp rack/case & the bug lives in a pocket of my mic case.

Value:
Worth every penny (which is less than most good wireless systems).

Desirability:
I LOVE it! It's just so easy to live with!

Sound:
Great Sound! No noise or interference. Strong signal. About 60-75 ft range. Full frequency bandwidth. Awesome!

Ease of Use:
Stupid easy! Plug & Play!

Support:
Never needed in the 2 years I've had it!

Overall:
Great piece of gear. If it was lost or stolen, I'd replace it IMMEDIATELY!

About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
The GB 40 guitarbug is probably the easiest way to turn a guitar, bass, or portable keyboard into a wireless instrument.

The FlexJack swivel jack plug will mate with any type of output jack and is spring loaded to hold the GB 40 securely against the instrument. In addition, the GB 40 is so small it is almost invisible and won't be in your way while playing. Since the GB 40 sits right on top of the instrument's output jack, the noiseless on/mute/off switch and gain control are always within easy reach. Integrated charging contacts allow you to charge the battery quickly and easily on the optional CU 40 charging unit, without having to remove the battery.
